The annual Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas is a fundamental event for the Bitcoin ecosystem, where companies present advances, announce associations and deliver speeches that shape the narrative of digital assets. For many, the large volume of information can be overwhelming. After having attended several conferences and becoming familiar with the companies that attend through my work in Utxo, I have highlighted key panels and expected developments by 2025, focusing on the ecosystems of layer 2 (L2) and Btcfi of Bitcoin.

Here is An advertisement and anticipated ads, categorized by key issues:
Bitvm2 ads
Since the introduction of Bitvm in 2023, the main Bitcoin development teams have been tirelessly working to transform the centralized designs of lateral technologies into the true accumulations of Bitcoin and L2 without permits. At the 2025 conference, wait for these teams to present the first versions of Bitvm2 Bridges, providing critical details about their mechanics. Once live, the Bitvm2 bridges could unlock a wide range of BTC decentralized use cases, accessible to all Bitcoins holders. May 2025 could mark a turning point, which potentially indicates the decrease in centralized “crypto” and defi projects in favor of a native Bitcoin economy. As the saying says, in a long enough timeline, everything returns to Bitcoin.
L2 associations
Bitcoin L2S faces a strong challenge: compete with established cryptographic players while gaining the confidence of Bitcoiners. It is likely that the conference present important association ads, particularly at the infrastructure level, addressing long -standing barriers for the adoption of BTCFI. These collaborations could reinforce the credibility and functionality of the L2 solutions, racing the way for a broader acceptance.
Innovation of ray assets and taproot
The recent announcement that Tether (USDT) will return to Bitcoin by issuing its stablecoin in Lightning rails through Taproot assets has caused a significant emotion. Wait for important updates of companies in this space, particularly with respect to Taproot assets and Stablecoin integration. The Lightning Network is prepared for domain, and 2025 could be the year in which it reaches the mainstay.
OPCODES AND GOVERNANCE DISCUSSIONS
With a growing support for the activation of the Covenant in Bitcoin and recent debates on Mempool policy on social networks, governance discussions will be a focal point. These panels promise to be intellectually stimulating, offering deep ideas about the central mechanics of Bitcoin and the possible artificial fires for those who follow the debates. Attending these sessions will probably be the most rewarding experience of the week for anyone looking to understand Bitcoin’s future.
Essential assistance panels
Below is a cured list of panels aligned with the previous categories, along with my expectations for each one. (Note: These predictions reflect my personal perspective and are not definitive. This list is not exhaustive, but highlights the high signal sessions for the assistants with limited time).
